Help fund a new fighting game from former SNK developers!

Hello friends, the biggest of the big fighting game tournaments happened this past weekend. The EVO tournament in Las Vegas drew in thousands of visitors and hundreds of thousands of viewers online. People got a chance to compete on the current crop of fighters including Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 and a King of the Fighters XIII exhibition. Exhibitors were showing off their wares and Double Helix games gave the crowd a preview of the new Killer Instinct title but as soon as they mentioned it was an Xbox One exclusive they got booed off the stage. The game looked impressive but the stipulations that Microsoft put on their console at the E3 rubbed the core audience the wrong way. They were not afraid to show the developers that they were still mad a month later.

Now that the dust has settled we get to look forward to the future of fighting games. There is a publicly funded campaign going on to launch a new franchise. Vatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm is developed by three former SNK staffers and looks very promising. Fans of the King of Fighters, Persona and even Guilty Gear may be interested in the way this title looks and plays. The indiegogo campaign has made waves the world over and was even featured in the recent issue of Arcadia magazine. If you love fighting games or are even a casual supporter then please help with a donation. It keeps the genre fresh and shows developers and publishers that there is a market for fighting games with new characters and gameplay elements. They don't have to rely on old tricks after all!

Killer Instinct got booed off the staged?!?!

though I'm not big on giving money to projects, like the wrestler one mentioned prior, I can see myself giving a few dollars to this one. Looks interesting. will need to see if they plan a console release.

Nice

As a fan of the original KI games, all I really needed was an XBLA release of the original 2 arcade games with online multiplayer and I would've been happy. But the fact that MS decided to make a new game by a 3rd rate studio when they still own Rare just blows my mind. And on top of allof this they want us to pay for each character? It's crazy. MS screwed this up in every way possible.

but I'll definitely look into this new game. I also can't wait to give Ultra Street Fighter IV a go.
